Founded
1966Heil Sound manufactures microphones and accessories for stage, studio, broadcast, and podcasting.
Heil Sound's microphones are known for strong rear rejection and a voice-forward dynamic presentation suited to broadcast, podcast, and live vocal work without phantom power.
The company also carries a long record in live sound and amateur radio, and it was the first manufacturer invited to exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which supports its credibility with working engineers.

Heil Sound's catalog concentrates on dynamic microphones, so buyers wanting condenser studio models or large-diaphragm options have to look elsewhere.
The company also relies on a comparatively narrow product range and a dealer network rather than the breadth and marketing reach of larger pro-audio competitors, and its amateur radio line is marketed on a separate site.

Demand for Heil Sound's products sits with broadcasters, podcasters, live-sound engineers, and amateur radio operators, who buy dynamic microphones, headsets, and accessories through the company's own storefront and a dealer network.
The amateur radio line is sold separately through heilhamradio.com, while the pro-audio lineup competes against established microphone brands on voice-focused dynamic designs rather than large-diaphragm condenser models.

Heil Sound is a privately held microphone manufacturer in Fairview Heights, Illinois, that grew out of Bob Heil's 1966 pro-audio business and passed to Ash Levitt and Steve Warford in February 2022.
Its current catalog centers on dynamic microphones, headsets, and accessories for broadcast, podcast, studio, and live use, with a separate amateur radio line, and it retains the Heil Talk Box among its legacy inventions.
